Where can i find the FXP028 kernel?

I'm also having wifi and 3G problems with both the FXP030 kernel and the CM 7.1.0 kernel that ponanovn posted here.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
we have finally an official CM rom and yet everybody seems to be confused on how to use it and everybody is trying different kernel lol

anyways, it's still a positive sign of good things to come

@poisike, pm'd you
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] terranox:
I have a CM 7.1.0 with kernel FXP30 and I have trouble with the sound and the Internet, someone could tell me xperia project, which kernel I have to use?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] moaj:
try 028 kernel or 028oc kernel, i use oc and its fine

Can i fix camera by replacing libcamera.so in GDX to FXP>?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] xtremeillusion:
@FXP

3G/Wifi connection seems to work on GDX v017 rom with FXP 030kernel, can you try to use the 3G/Wifi libs in GDX v017 on FXP rom to test whether it will solve the 3G/Wifi connection problem.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deani77:
3G/WiFi was okay on FXP 028... problem only occurred in 030... but 030 was running smoother than 028.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ASHLEY117:
Oc kernel is on page 152 mate, using the same combo(cm7.1 rom and oc kernel) good performance, love the lockscreen and battery drain is really good. Went sleep with 69% and woke up with 68. Wifi on all night lol
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] viper001:
@FXP. hello.

If it wouldn't be any trouble, is it possible for you to release an OC enabled kernel based off the next Kernel you're releasing?

Thanks lots.:D

hi guys, i tryed to install stable 7.1.0 (downloaded from cyanogenmod site) with xrecovery but i got an error (7) and i can't install it...could someone tell me how to do please?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] 7OH:
forget Xrecovery. Use CWM.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lukewong01:
FXP...

Could u make 1 temporary fix for camera until u done rewriting lib?...

i mean just use DX fix .."?>.:D..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] chemicalbuz:
i just try with cwm too but same error...any ideas?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
we presume your phone is bootloader-unlocked

first, flash the custom kernel that came with previous FXP releases(either FXP028 or 30)

then flash the CM rom in CWM recovery
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] 7OH:
Maybe error is "assert failed..." - i've always remove that ASSERT before install.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] viper001:
Bear in mind that with FXP Kernel, you use any button (i prefer the side rocker:D) to go the the "proper" recovery screen.

@ ALL >>> (it really is getting complicated huh, press back key repeatedly for Xrec, tap the screen for CWM..... what's next? shake for 10 seconds and tap the 4 corners ONCE ONLY.... :D:D:D)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] poisike:
OK, i tried FXP028 Kernel, FXP030 Kernel and the one that is included with the CM7.1, but the network problem is still there. Everything works great for about 15 minutes and after that i can't access internet. Restart fixes this problem for another 15 minutes. Any ideas?

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lukewong01:
how do i specify governer and Frequency of OC while i cant boot up my phone??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
that happens on OC kernel, some devices can't handle the 768MHz frequency at boot-up

you may try this, as i mentioned previously

flash the normal kernel first then put the script I attached in "/etc/init.d" folder, set permissions 777(all ticked)

power-off then flash the OC kernel, that would have a safe boot-up frequency of 614MHz

the script is for safe boot-up then after that, you may play around with other frequency using setcpu app once you're in

you may also add this line on the script for cpu governor(or you can just set it in setcpu also)

echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

note*unzip the attached file before using

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] WARR10r:
As I tgougt, the one that blagus posted is same that in cm builds mirror..

Btw I'm at 28 Oc kernel. Because of oc :-D and in-call volume.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lukewong01:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] moaj:
shut down ur phone, flash kernel in FT, flash rom
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jajank:
do i need to flash it to the original ROM first(Eclai 2.1.1.A.0.6) before i do that??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] WARR10r:
if u have now GingerDX then u should. coz CM's phone name is Shakira and original is E15i so CWM Recovery shows error and do not apply update -___-
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] T!b:
Nope, juste remove first lines starting by Assert[...]until "package_extract_file..." from update-cm-7.1.0xxx/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script with a text editor (gedit fe) then zip and flash again ;)

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
Solution to CM71

Trick is, that in Flash Tool has wrong loader! We need e15.sin that have 103949 bytes, not 98883 bytes. Then we can build working bundle form kernel.sin included in CM71 zip.

Attached zipped loader. Just unzip and overwrite it in Flashtool/loaders.

So proper order to use CM71 is:

- load zip from http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=shakira

- unzip kernel.sin and make bundle in flashtool (replace loader first!)

- flash created .ftf kernel (in firmwares directory)

- boot phone tapping screen to enter recovery

- make backup :P

- mount storage and copy rom to phone

- install custom zip

- install GoogleApps http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11719626&postcount=3

- full wipe (if not from FXP)

- boot phone

I hope it helps :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] T!b:
Same problem here.. :confused:

I've read few post before, apparently it's a known bug, hope it will be fixed soon :)

Hum 10mn later, it works again, without restart, weird

Q : the kernel include in the official CM is it the same include in the rom of this thread ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Chris_Castro:

Did you flash kernel from CM website? If so, is it different? How's Wi-fi and 3G?

Great work, BTW.

Does anybody have FXP024 or 027?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] WARR10r:
confirm. with 028 OC kernel wifi works flawlessly, and we have OC ^_^

BUT, the only bug i've found is allmost all apps cant work with phone's microphone. at 028, at 030? still same.. no voicerecorder, no talking tom cat etc :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Chris_Castro:

I wonder if this has to do with the videocamera too. I can take pictures, but no video.

Sidenote:

From FXP: "from now numbering will indicate week number and if is possible new rom will be out every monday with latest progress" - So, 042 will begin on Oct 17, and so on.

It seems that temporary solution for wifi (untill fxp team fix it) is to check sleep policy to never.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dragan985:
@LFSPovo,

If You don't want to edit update package, alternative solution is to edit build.prop (in system folder) with root explorer.

in build.prop You have 4 line that contains "X8" and You need to replace it with "E15i".

That's all!

CM 7.1 FXP CUSTOM_OC, 030 But having problems

Hi,

I just flashed my girlfriend's X8 from stock 2.1 to cm71, but im having issues.

I have read the last 30-40 page from here, and some from other threads.

My issues are:

- fxp30: wifi drops after 10-15 mins (with sleep policy adjusted to never as suggested), random reboot

- fxp oc suggested earlyer: no wifi at all, no random reboot (but did not test too mutch, needed wifi)

I just like to know if anyone has a working configuration without problems? And maybe what have i made wrong or skipped?

Flash proc:

- xRecovery

- bootloader (that 3 files copied to system/bin)

- CWM

- CM71 from CM site, patched asserts

- wipe, repartition, format

- cm7.1 update from zip

- wipe/factory reset

- flashed fxp (x8_CM71.ftf, Xperia-X8_030-Linux-Kernel-2.6.29_FXP.ftf, X8_FXP030_Kernel.ftf, X8_CUSTOM.ftf, X8_CUSTOM.ftf)

currently:

X8_FXP030_Kernel.ftf with the issues.

anyway the phone bacome super fast and stable, angry birds is running smooth, multitouch is working like on htc hero (I just cant get teamspeak to work, i think the cpu type is the problem arm6)

thank you all here for your time and effort
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deani77:
For less headache, for time being you can use FXP028 ROM with any Kernel. I prefer FXP030 - Blagus, it gave no no connection problem with smoothness.

I use this setup until new ROM upload this Monday...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] notice86:
ty for fast reply

its not really clear what you mean fxp 028 rom with any kernel. These are the two files in ftf? kernel and loader .sin files?

maybe can you send me an exact filesize or a checksum for the 2 files in the ftf you use?

i feel i have tonns of this files already not sure witch is good for me. (i think tried already 028 with no luck, but will test again, but now have to work on something else for some hours)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deani77:
I assumed you already have FXP028 ROM downloaded.

1. Download kernel file from this post.

2. Flash it by move the *.ftf file into firmware folder. Run the flash application.

3. Install FXP028 ROM then full wipe
